A graphical compositor for Raven-OS

feathers's Issues

Move windows with arrow keys

Should be able to build up on movement keys.

Remove struct on parameter types

Don't remember exactly when it started, but everyone imitated. This is not usefull and actually makes it sometimes harder to catch compilation errors.

resize propagation

Investigate release build

We didn't pay enough attention to it and things seem broken.

Cleanup

TODO:
- [ ] #56

• #52
• #50
• #99

Workspaces

Workspaces have different window trees.
Also need to able ti move between workspaces with shortcuts.

Improve wlroots usage

• instead of storing popups manually, use https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/blob/master/include/wlr/types/wlr_xdg_shell.h#L175
• instead of using a "mapped" bool, and adding surfaces to the server right away, add surfaces when they are mapped. To know if a surface i mapped, one can use the "mapped" bools within the wlroots structs

Other things will be added as I notice them.

Improve window resize

Gaps appear between windows sometimes.

TODO: Check if we want to delete view in XdgShell.cpp

feathers/src/XdgShell.cpp

Line 24 in ef9970c

//Maybe delete the view here ?

Support xdg_shell_protocol_v6

Remove makefile and create a proper build system

The Makefile was a temporary solution to build the project with an effective render. It is now necessary to replace it by a Cmake at least

Have one windowTree per output

Related to #19

Fix window closing

Currently some windows will refuse to close when closing windows in a mixed order with control-D and the windows opened each other.
Currently when closing a window that is not the last opened using the 'X', the ones opened after it will close too if the windows opened each other.

Check if xkb_state_key_get_syms requires deallocating returned data.

This was raised in a previous PR, see #10 (comment)

Implement key_repeat info in Keyboard

see #45 for a start of that work

Find solution to make cycling and fullscreen intuitive to use

See #36 (comment) for what the current problem is.

Reduce pointer usage

Please.

Investigate firefox fullscreen

Tilling & container support

Merge Windowdata into View

This may allow to simplify code a lot as well as remove code duplication since some functions from WindowData may be useful when only having access to view.

"Tiling" only has one "l"

This mistake is everywhere, mostly due to my fault :P

Reduce the amount of double to int conversions

I think this is probably because the mouse position is a double originally and it propagates from there.
We probably don't want non-int window positions, but the doubles may be used to get more precision when moving / resize windows (and any drag operation).

Wallpaper feh ?

Investigate feh for the wallpaper

Copy-Paste

Passing a window in floating mode which is not in the top container can cause broken behavior.

And even SIGFPE in some cases.

d-menu to run any command ?

Investigate d-menu

Minimize / Maximize on windows

Need to think on what that entails.

Rework server side feathers

The Server side offeather is mainly C complient. The goal is to rework it to build it in C++.
Many are to do:

• ServerCursor
• ServerView
• Input / Output

We mainly have to wrap all these things into classes and connect them to each other

Status bar

@Arignir suggested https://github.com/polybar/polybar.

Tabbed windows

Bordeless windows / custom borders

This implies some custom rendering.
Related to #19

Investigate layer-shell

Supersedes #44.

More configuration with albinos

The exact configurable things will depend on user feedback / what we notice could be configured.
Here are the issues that we have found, I will try to keep them up to date:

• #138 Configure keyboard_surface exclusivity with albinos
• #137 Configure click vs hover to enter window with albinos
• #135 Shortcuts configuration

Too many things are named output

We need some way to make things clearer. Maybe rename things screen in some cases ?
We should also proably rename view->getOuput to view->getWlrOutput. Or we could make window->getOutput() return the correct output right away.

Check and get rid of all useless wl_list occurences

Increase amount of forward declaration

Also remove useless includes in general.

Fix window resizing

There seems to be a weird of offset applied when resizing.
This issue will potentially quickly become obsolete if we switch to a tilling compositor.

Key bindings

Bindings we need:

• close current window
• open default terminal
• change window floating status (co-goal with #19)
• change window tilling style (co-goal with #19)
• movement key shortcuts
• movement keys to switch between foreground and background
• open next window below / right (co-goal with #19)

Relevant issues
#21
#19 (see above)

change window moving behaviour

We could just prevent moving completely when in tilling mode.

Handle popups

See: https://github.com/raven-os/feathers/blob/master/source/XdgShell.cpp#L35

Remove non up to date comments

See https://github.com/raven-os/feathers/blob/master/include/wm/WindowData.hpp#L16

Move commands in a .cpp file

Custom decorations.

Implies are own renderer. Originally in issue #96 which mixed several things.

xkb Keyboard configuration

set the rules for the keyboard corretly according to our future configuration, like the layout of the keyboard
see #45

Get rid of namespace ServerView

WTF, seriously, WTF.

Compilation

I can't even get it to compile it on my machine. I think the include directories are wrong. Regardless the current make is clearly unacceptable and has to be replaced/update.

Move a window from a workspace to another

Allow the user to choose on which workspace he wants to move a window.

For now use combination of shortcut to make it works

make server global

Window fullscreen support

Add fullscreen for the focused window.

Cleanup rework

Some little things should be reviewed after the completed rework.
Check all the inconvenient stuff and remove it or change it in a proper way
